Rain, Tennis, Acorns, and Brownies!

It was a rainy day here! It started as I took the boys out for their morning walk!  Made me wish I had gotten out of bed sooner.  Cody was likely thinking, "not this liquid stuff again!".  It has been a rather drizzly August, kind of odd. I wonder if we are approaching or have made a record for rainfall in August.

I will be heading to the Texas Tennis Open tomorrow night with my fiancé.  I'm excited!  The rain today stopped just in time for the tennis tourney tonight.  Lucky!  I decided on going tomorrow and also to the final which is on Friday night.  Of course I can't miss the final!  I already got my Texas Tennis Open visor out sitting on my table, it's ready to go! My sweet fiancé bought me a visor at last year's tourney.  Don't worry folks I'll be stylin' as I sit out there in the sun!  I checked the weather report...it's supposed to be sunny tomorrow.  No rain in the forecast for the foreseeable future.  At that news Cody does a dance! 

Acorns have started to fall!  It is Simon's fave time of year when those start to drop down on his head!  They aren't ripe yet but he doesn't care.  He's all about eating things he technically shouldn't eat.  It's so hard getting him to walk up the hill outside our place during acorn season because he's so busy with his mouth hanging wide open as he sucks in acorn after acorn.  He's a vacuum!

I've spent a good portion of the evening thumbing through recipes.  I love casually reading recipes.  I've been looking mostly at brownie recipes tonight.  I need to make brownies for a gift. My special brownie pan had to be tossed as it had become overused.  I've been trying to do without a brownie pan but my preference is for a designated pan for brownies.  I might have to go replace it before making my next batch of brownies. It's driving me nuts not having one!
